Speech #1100088935

I had hoped a similar provision for physicians assistants could have been included. However. this bill can address the ability of physicians to delegate hospice care to physicians assistants without any further cost considerations. I am particularly pleased that the overall tone of the bill is to help children improve their lives and their health by offering a guaranteed dental benefit and helping States enroll and retain more eligible children. including the children of legal immigrants. I am fully supportive of the idea of allowing "qualifying States" to use their CHIP allotments for Medicaid if that will cover more kids. I believe that the attempt to categorize this bill as cutting Medicare is nothing more than a sham.
